Lovely Links: 6/28/13

The amazing women who run The Blogcademy – Gala, Nubby, and Kat – are bringing their workshop to the Twin Cities THIS WEEKEND. And there are still slots available! If you’re interested in taking your blog and business to the next level, this two-day workshop is a fabulous place to start. I’ve not attended myself, but my girl Erika was at the L.A. Blogcademy and said it was an amazing and informative experience. You can register for the Minneapolis Blogcademy here.

“I love the swimming pool changing rooms. What a fabulous, boob-swingingly comfortable place for women to be women – the air perfumed by E45 and Herbal Essences, your ears filled with the sound of shopping lists being read to babies and feet padding on tepid puddles of chlorine. I didn’t realise how important this place was to me until a woman shouted at me for, in her opinion, behaving inappropriately.”

That whale suit is 100% perfect, and I won’t hear any dissent. Nope, definitely perfect.

The piece on the skirt was very interesting. Pretty brave of a hetero cis young man to step into that and an even better analysis of what happened.

I totally identified with the women’s swimming pool changing room author! While I lived in South Korea last year, I went to the jimjilbang (cheap but awesome public spa baths) once a week. It’s not just the changing room that is naked, female space. The whole bathing area is, with saunas and tubs and these awesome little stools to squat on while scrubbing one’s hair. I loved it, but most Western women never set foot in one because they feared the nakedness.

Personally I find gel manicures too damaging for regular wear. However, a few times a year I go on business trips that often mean two weeks away from home with little time to primp but a high need to look my best; that’s when I go for the gel manicure. That way I know my hands at least look great and will STAY looking great no matter how many times I have to grab my bag off the airport carousel. But I get the gel manicure taken off as soon as I get home, and I make sure to leave my nails unpolished for a few weeks afterward, to give them a break.
